The Future of the automotive industry (I hope)

Something actually worth looking into; An unfortunate technology for oil barons but somebody's got the right idea. I wouldn't be surprised if he's assassinated by our own CIA.


Shai Agassi has the right idea when it comes to alternative energy. Where as the idea of plugging your car in at home and then driving around on electrical current is romantic, it's not practical until you add the missing element. That missing element is rechargeable stations and Agassi's ideas include this.


Personally, I think we need to take the driving away from the individual by making cars that drive themselves, but until then, we can at least create new and innovative ideas for keeping our personal transports as environmentally friendly as possible. Agassi's cars seem to do just that.


Agassi thinks of clean energy we could be using to get his product's power as well. In his video his coyly suggests wind energy in combination with both bio-fuel and solar energy as well.

The batteries are 95% recyclable as well so although we can do something about that 5% we slow down our waste to much more than we are doing currently.


Don't believe me? Take a look for yourselves:
